You all need new TWRP to make f2fs working, but give me a while, making tutorial right now ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

DO NOT TRY TO RUN F2FS BEFORE WE PUBLISH TUTORIAL, BECAUSE YOU MAY COMPLETELY BRICK YOUR HARDWARE!

how to swap external sd card to internal ... it's possible in cm11 ? :)

because i want playing with HD games :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] farenheith:
You can use foldermount from playstore and map the following folders:

/data/media/obb -> /storage/sdcard1/Android/obb

/data/media/0 -> /storage/sdcard1

I use this on my phone and I have more than 15gb in games. Do a full backup before, though, as if something goes wrong, you are on your own.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] evildog1:
i use GL to SD to move games to external SD. it works the same as foldermount
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] farenheith:
But I think GL to SD will move only obb, right? With fouldermount I can also make both sd folders point to the external one, which is good for photos, videos and download storage.

But one thing, though: Different from "internal to external", this method doesn't trick the System making it think there's more internal space, so, all downloads you make will be bounded to the real available space on the internal memory, which will be fairly less used.

Titanium Backup is enough for preventing applications' data loss ? Like 3rd party apps, contacts.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] KoRnFactory:
Maclaw I read here on xda that formatting internal data partition could format the external sd as well because this is emulated.

Is this the case?

I'd suggest to insert in the tutorial to remove the sd card for security.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
It wouldn't delete the external SD card ;)

Mclaw can you confirm if i in in f2fs or i do correct installing your rom w/ f2fs
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
you cannot install a backup of a ext4 partition and install on a f2fs system..

the only option is convert again you phone to ext4 and install the backup..

after that, COPY what you want to your sd card or your pc and convert your phone again to f2fs and copy your files again to your phone..

I had some troubles to flash this version; first I try to flash with the adb backup, but when I was restoring the backup the adb showed a message and I try all the options, no one worked.

So I booted the phone anyway and it was wiped the data, and when I finish the installation of the apps, I saw my memory with 300MB of free space (in the last version I had 3GB). I back to the my TWRP backup (10/06).

Confirmed: Never had a problem with capacitive buttons until 0612 release. Now, dirty or clean installs of Full GAPPS disables buttons. Clean install with 0612 restores buttons. I will experiment later with the Micro GAPPS but I've got to run for now.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Da Xiang:
All is good now. The phone OS blew up with the format conversion of the data folder. No worries, just clean install everything. Then the button failure. Final clean install using GAPPS Micro and now all is back as it was with one little difference--it's faster now.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] ztandroid:
re-formating ext4 to f2fs and flashing rom is two different things. you can't get both of them by flashing rom, its's only can be done via recovery (TWRP). so flash it normally without any worries.

Yup, but you will miss much. Every app load more that 2 times faster ;)

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
you need to install a rom compatible with f2fs before doing this...

Maybe a n00b question, but will I able to see my phone's sdcard under Windows (connected with usb), after formatted the /data to f2fs? Coz I read that there isn't any driver around for Win to recognize f2fs yet... Thanks in advance!

so it's the newest release m'i wrong ?? and release from 12.06.2014.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] tetrahydrofuran:

Android devices use filesystem-agnostic MTP protocol, so the host OS doesn't really care what filesystem is on Android's "removable device".

i'm waiting for any people review here :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] moonryder:
important question:

First: yes i read the tut but it can´t help me by this problem!

flashed 20140612 build and formatted /data to f2fs.

now i want to update with today´s release. When new release is flashed, is it necessary to format /data to f2fs again (and logical after each update) and loose all setting and apps or is f2fs after flashing still there?

i will format /cache to f2fs, but this is independent of the question above. :confused:

Thx for help
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] karburutu:
No need to make changes with the Data part buddy. Just Flash the latest release and this time you select Cache and change it to F2FS. :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] prototype74:
I have a important question guys. I made long ago a backup of my stock ROM via CWM. Now i want use TWRP for format /data and /cache to f2fs. So if I use the f2fs file system and I want restore my stock ROM backup via CWM will the phone change the /data and /cache partition back to ext4 without problems or will I get errors while restore? :confused:

Here's what i did. First completely wipe everything, factory reset,wipe system/data/cache etc then change partition to f2fs. Go to reboot and reboot to recovery, it will prompt that there isnt any OS ignore that. After reboot install rom and then gapps. It worked for me.

Small question. If I try to update the ROM via TWRP, give me TWRP an error message "zip signature verification failed" and "Failed" in red. Should I unmark "zip signature verification"?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] ztandroid:
after changed, then your /data and /cache are formated as f2fs, you can reboot to system as usual but if you don't want to lose your previous data then after change you need to do restore your backup (if you copy /data to external_sd before --using NovaFusion's method before change to f2fs). flashing rom and gapps is not needed after re-formating.

---------- Post added at 12:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 AM ----------

try any possibilities...and also check if your zip isn't corrupted or not..
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] grinder777:
The system partition will be untouched.

You have to backup your data-partition including data/media, which is your internal sd-card (via ADB) then change this partition to f2fs. After you will NOT boot into system, you will boot into recovery again and restore your data from PC. Then reboot system and all should be fine.
